...crucial factor turned out to be stress. The college men were almost all fourth-generation Americans from substantial middle-class families. They had adjusted without much difficulty to the life expected of them as adults. The high school graduates, on the other hand, were the sons or grandsons of immigrants, were raised in poorer families, had to cope with considerably more adolescent problems than the college men. They married earlier, had more domestic problems, more financial worries, embarked on more home do-it-yourself projects. Finally, they faced an unfamiliar life in a big corporation in which they struggled hard...
What now ranks as one of Europe's greatest archaeological finds was first discovered in 1933 by a local schoolmaster walking his class along a peninsula jutting into Lake Biskupin. Because of recent dredging of the Gasawka River, the lake's level had fallen 10 to 15 feet, and the schoolmaster spotted long rows of logs sticking out of a mud flat at a 45° angle.

But after commiserating with the complaining parents, Mason left Teacher Levin's fate to Edison's Principal Hiram...
...week. Counsel Robert Lishman leaked the news that ex-Jockey Alan Freed, who himself was spun off the ABC turntables for payola (TIME. Nov. 30), had impugned Clark's purity in closed session. Despite everything, at least one group was willing to stick by its boyman: the senior class of Philadelphia's suburban Upper Darby High School wanted to present Clark with a certificate of honor last week "because he talks to us like we are people." But Clark, talking to Congressmen almost as if they were teenagers, was a little too busy to accept...
